Connecting an Appliance Using an Ethernet Cable
2.1.2.1
For SWG 3000 and SWG 5000 models:
1.
Plug in the power cable and switch the appliance on.
2.
Connect a PC directly to the appliance’s GE0 port or via a switch (for 5000-SWG, see 5000-SWG Rear
Panel) using a standard (8 thread) Ethernet cable. CAT5e cables (or better) are recommended.
3.
The default IP of the GE0 interface is 10.0.0.1, and its default netmask is 255.255.255.0. Configure
the TCP/IP settings of your PC so that it is on the same logical network subnet as the appliance’s GE0
interface. For example, configure the IP on the PC as 10.0.0.101 and the PC’s netmask as
255.255.255.0.
IMPORTANT:
Do not set the PC’s IP to 10.0.0.1, as this will result in an IP conflict with the appliance.
4.
Continue with initial setup of your SWG Appliance using Limited Shell.
